We got kicked out of our house

It's 2:41PM & I'm just waiting for my dad to come pick me up from school. I've got a friend with me, we're just talking about random things like K-pop & rice... and this car comes up. I thought I saw my dad in there, but it wasn't his car, so I wasn't sure to approach it until he came out. I said bye to my friend & got in the car.

I'm just finding out that my mom got kicked out of the house. No, we all got kicked out. We rent our house, & it's a very nice house in a calm neighborhood. But we don't live there anymore. Apparently, the landowner came in & changed the locks & everything so we can't even go in there to get our stuff. IF they decide to be nice, they might just let us get our things in 2 or 3 days. My mom was able to get the kids, the dogs, & my sister's school laptop charger, but that's it.

God FUCKING dammit.

It's like, we can't catch a break. MY entire life has been nothing but unfortunate luck. My parents have had nothing but unfortunate luck. And it's like it's just going to follow us for the rest of our lives. What they do, affects us. Everything that affects them affects us. And bad shit affects us daily.

And I'm so sick of having nothing good happen.

My mom's husband sold one of our trucks on Monday & he bought a new one for my mom. He left just yesterday for North Dakota with the ONLY truck with license plates. My mom spent the entire day yesterday at the DMV, & for whatever reason, they won't give her the license plates. So she's unable to travel by car. She can travel by the public bus, yes, but just how much of a pain is that when you're traveling with two or four younger kids? And now she's at court for the house thing. What the HELL did she do in order to get us all kicked out?

Oh MY god.

I'm hoping that she paid the bills correctly. I mean, why else would they kick us out? We haven't made any changes to the house whatsoever. The most we've done is cut the branches off the tree in the front because it was fall & the leaves were everywhere.

I can't imagine how stressed my mom must be. ESPECIALLY because she's on her own while her husband goes back to construction work. I'm pretty sure she'll be living with us here at my dad's house until we can get this sorted out.

You know what? Our fucking neighbors must have said something to the landowners. THEY FUCKING DID SOMETHING. My mom & them were good friends until some small thing got between them & now they don't talk. And the neighbors started putting wood up by the fence so that they wouldn't be able to see us. And the fence is on OUR "property." We tried to report it but the landowner didn't care. But I'm pretty sure they must have something to do with it.

I'm so stressed with school. I'm so stressed with everything-- I haven't been able to sleep in weeks because of all this stress. I'm not eating because of the stress. And getting kicked out is just making this worse because I'm getting the feeling to throw up.

I have THINGS in there that I need! Important things, sentimental things, I NEED them. I just want my things. I'll be okay if we can't live there, but I want to get my things... Without these things, my teachers will kill me.

Sigh.

It's 3:06PM now & my sisters are watching MTV. I'm gonna wait until my mom gets back from court. Hopefully it's all just a misunderstanding & we can get back into the house.

And hopefully I don't break out crying during class tomorrow from all the stress.

I just wish our family could catch a break from everything. But that's just life, right? Life's hard, & I just need to learn to get over it.

3:08PM So I just got a call from my dad. My mom's out of court so he's gonna go pick her up. My stomach is killing me; I can oonly image the worst case scenario. My mind is telling me that my worst thoughts are true, but a part of me is telling me that I should have faith. I don't know what to believe anymore.

3:38PM My mom just got back. She said she did pay, but it's his error... Supposedly. He's apparently committing a fraud of some sort. Until the error is all sorted out, we won't be allowed near the house. And we CAN get our things, but we'll have to take everything with us when we do. So now my mom's looking for another house near the neighborhood; nothing too far from our schools. She's gonna go to this office tomorrow to fill in & turn papers. She's already paid the bills but she needs proof that she did. And some complicated things.

She's gonna stay at her husband's cousins house meanwhile & I guess we'll be staying here with my dad... I have one small concern though. What exactly are we gonna wear? All our clothes are with my mom because we spend the majority of our week there. If we have to wear the same clothes until we can go back.. So be it, I guess.

8:44PM Yes mom. I understand that you're even more stressed than I am, & that's why I'm not acting like an asshole right now. But please understand that I am trying hard to translate as fast & accurately as possible. I am NOT a professional translator/interpreter so please don't yell at me because I am not as great as others. I just want to say that you've had yeas to learn English & it's not MY fault that you never could. And I'm sorry that everything is pissing you off but it's OUT of MY control.

It's like, as soon as you walk through the doors, you can feel the tension. Everyone is so fucking stressed--including the dogs & excluding the young ones. We're all trying hard not to lash out at each other, so we're each doing our own favourite things to help cope with the stress & urges.I've been drawing for like half an hour & it's helped me with my stress, just a little bit. I just really hate that life can just turn on you without any warning. Like, I left school, expecting to go pick up my money from my mom's house so that I could go shopping. I was excited to buy something with my own money. BUT NOPE. Because now my mom is left homeless with 4 young ones while the rest of us can stay at my dad's house for the remaining of the week.

I don't really know what she's gonna do. We can't exactly help out.. I was thinking we could start a GoFundMe campaign to raise some money so she could pay rent for the houses she's looking at, but I don't know if I should because there are other people who need the money more than we do... It wouldn't feel right. But she's been looking at houses & most of the houses are near my dad's house, which kinda bothers me because I don't want to keep coming to this school anymore & if she picks a house in this area, it guarantees that I keep coming to this school. But I guess I shouldn't be complaining about that right now.. I should be focusing on other things.
